[A/S] First Post / Replacing Old Radio with Stereo AM/FM/CD

["Bart Weller" <bcw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My wife and I are new Airstream owners, having recently purchased a '72 Overlander 27'.  (In mint condition, I must say.)  We've put it up on our mountain property in the Colorado central Rockies (near Redstone) and will be doing some long-term boondocking there until we get a cabin built.  We're planning on setting up solar panels with extra batteries, so I'm sure I'll have some questions on that down the road.

So here's my first question to the group.

The original eight-track has long-since been removed, and I'd like to replace the old AM/FM radio with a more current AM/FM/CD/Cassette unit (12V, of course).  The only option I've run across, so far, is the wall mount unit offered by Camping World: http://www.campingworld.com/shop/products/index.cfm?type=product&skunum=18249&cl_loc=8.  

This doesn't include cassette, which would be nice but isn't essential.  Does anyone have any experience with this unit?  Has anyone run across any other good options for replacing the old radio?  

To replace the old unit, it looks like I will be drilling out some rivets, so I also need to pick up a rivet set -- any recommendations there?

If there is already a thread on this, how would I go about checking out the archive?

Thanks
Bart
